PURPLE

What this record means

The record shows that the mark PURPLE was abandoned on December 12, 2012 after the applicant, Uni Hosiery Co., Inc., failed to respond to an Office action, so it is not a live or registered trademark. The only goods listed are “SOCKS, UNDERWEAR, ACTIVE WEAR, LINGERIE” in International Class 025, meaning the closest area of concern would be any new brand using the word PURPLE for clothing or related apparel. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the word PURPLE in other product categories or services. Because the application was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis and never progressed beyond the non‑final action, there is no Supplemental Register entry to discuss. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice and final abandonment on the same date, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The prosecution history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so the supplied history shows no visible enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use PURPLE for similar apparel, but the risk is limited to that specific class of goods.
